• Compare and group together a variety of everyday materials on the basis of whether they are attracted to a magnet, and identify some magnetic materials.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Notice that some forces need contact between 2 objects, but magnetic forces can act at a distance.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Observe how magnets attract or repel each other and attract some materials and not others.
• Science, Year 3, Forces & Magnets
• Predict whether 2 magnets will attract or repel each other, depending on which poles are facing.
• A set of six durable, plastic horseshoe-shaped magnets, each marked with north and south poles.
• Designed for educational use, these magnets facilitate easy learning of magnetic properties through practical demonstration.
• Introduce children to the intriguing world of magnetism with these horseshoe-shaped magnets, designed to enhance learning opportunities in the classroom. Each magnet is crafted to support Year 3 Science objectives, including grouping materials based on magnetic properties and understanding the action of magnetic forces at a distance.
• These magnets are perfect for experiments that reveal the directional nature of magnetism and the interaction between different magnetic poles. The vivid colours help differentiate each piece, making them ideal for group activities that engage and educate.
Teachers can effectively use these magnets to demonstrate practical scientific concepts, fostering a deeper understanding of how magnetic forces operate and influence the physical world. This aligns seamlessly with the curriculum's focus on scientific exploration and inquiry, making it an invaluable resource for educational settings.
